Symptoms of sciatic nerve injury from injections in children include abnormal walking gait and inability to stand. Leg pain caused by sciatic nerve damage from an injection can be treated with oral or intramuscular methylcobalamin to support nerve health. In severe cases, sciatic nerve decompression surgery may be required. In daily life, avoid prolonged sitting, long periods of bending over, standing for extended times while carrying heavy loads, as well as staying up late, fatigue, and exposure to cold. Avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods.
